BATTLE-SHIP
MAINE GOES
TO HAVANA
Evidently the Situation Is
Serious at the Cuban
Capital.
Although the State Department
Declares the Cruise Is Only
a Friendly Visit, Trouble
Is Predicted.
WASHINGTON. Jan. 24— War
talk is rife to-night. Never since
the complications in Cuba first
assumed proportions has there
been so much talk of possible
trouble between this country
and Spain as there has been
since Secretary Long's an
nouncement that the Maine is
headed toward Havana. This
action is naturally taken as most
significant. The State and Navy
departments are busy denying
that there is any change in the
situation down there and in re-
Iterating that there is special
reason for the visit of the battle
ship — that it is nothing, in fact,
but a friendly visit, such as a
vessel of any country is liable
to pay to a friendly port at any
time. But it is the conviction
here among those whose judg
ment is most valuable that noth
ing short of truly alarming news
would have induced the adminis
tration to take this step at this
particular time. Whether it is
due to the fear that the cable
from Havana might be cut, leav-
ing Consul-General Lee where
he could not be in communica
tion either with the Government
or with the squadron at Key
West, or to threatened anti-
American outbreaks, can only
be surmised. There is, however,
certainly something serious.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 24. — Within
forty-eight hours for the first time
since the insurrection broke out in
Cuba, three years ago. the United
States Government will be represented
in the harbor of Havana by a warship.
The decision to send the United States
phip Maine was finally reached at a
special meeting at the White House
this morning between the President,
Becretary Long, Assistant Secretary
Day, Attorney-General McKenna and
General Miles, and it is a striking f;i«'t
that with the exception of the Secre
tary of the Navy and the Attorney-
General not a member of the Cabinet
knew of the President's intention to
take this radical action.
It is denied, however, that such a
move has lonpr boen In contemplation,
as evidenced In the fo-Howing statement
of Assistant Secretary Day made this
afternoon:
"The sending of the Maine to Ha
vana means slmpl3 r the resumption of
friendly naval relations with Spain. It
is customary for naval vessels of
friendly nations to pass in and out of
the harbors of other countries with
which they are at peace, and British
and German warships have recently
visited Havana. Tliis is no new move.
The President has intended to do it for
some time, but heretofore something
has happened to postpone it. The or
ders to the Maine mean nothing more
than I have paid, and there is nothing
alarming or unfriendly in them,. The
Spanish Minister here is fully informed
of what is going on and so far as I
know has not mado the slightest ob
jection to it."
Further, Assistant Secretary Day
paid that Con3ul-General Lee had not
6ent for a warship. This statement
shows that the move was made delib
erately and that it could not have been
taken if there were serious apprehen
sions of its results in Havana. The
general belief here, however, is that in
Madrid rather than in any Cuban town
Is trouble to be looked for, if there
Bhould be any misapprehension of the
purpose of our Government in sending
the Maine to Havana. The temper of
the opposition newspapers in the Span
ish capital has been threatening for
some time, and it may require the
strong hand of the news censor to re
press the utterances that would lead
to rioting.
Admiral Sicard's orders were not
made public in their text at the Navy
Department, but it was stated that the
substance of them was contained in
the statement made by Secretary
Long. The orders were not sent di
rectly to the Maine, for the reason that
she is now attached to the squadron,
and the naval regulations require all
such orders to go through the superior
officer. There is some question whether
the telegram reached the admiral
before he sailed with his squadron
from Key West for Tortugas Harbor.
The belief is that it did not, but this
■will make little difference in the pro
gramme, inasmuch as the telegram
will be sent to the admiral by one of
the torpedo-boats, or by some other
means of conveyance. The details of
the Maine's movements are believed to
be left for the arrangement of Admiral
Sicard, but it is thought that the ship,
•which put to sea with the squadron,
■will return to Key West before going
to Havana.
The German ships, to which Assist
ant Secretary Day referred in his
statement, are the Charlotte and the
Geyer, both training-ships, and not of
formidable typo, though one sufficed to
settle hastily the recent Haytien diffi
culty. Their touching at Havana is
rot significant, as their cruise was ar
ranged in all details last September,
and the same ships are due at Charles
ton, 6. C, early in February next. The
commander of the Maine, Captain
Sigsbee, is a favorite in the Navy De
partment. For four years he was chief
of the Hydrographic Office, and by his
energy brought the office to a high
standard. He was lucky to get so im
portant a ship as the Maine, consider
ing his actual rank, which is that of a
commander, but immediately he jus
tified the department's judgment in the
selection by running his ship straight
into a dock in New York harbor in or
der to avoid running down a packed
excursion boat. This was a display of
quick judgment, nerve and pluck that
pleased the department so highly that
Sigsbee was sent a complimentary let
ter. His officers include Lieutenant-
Commander Walnwright, Lieutenants
G. F. Holman. J. Hood and C. W. Yun
gen. Lieutenants (Junior grade) G. W.
Blow, J. T. Blandin, F. W. Jenkins,
Cadets J. H. Holden, W. T. Cluverius.

SIGNIFICANCE OF
SENDING THE MAINE
TO HAVANA HARBOR.
While It Is Said the Visit Is Purely of a
Friendly Nature Naval Officers
Fear a Clash.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 24.— Senator
Davis, chairman of the Committee <>n
Foreign Relations, had been fully ad
vised of the sailing of the Maine for
Havana when a reporter of The Call
met him at the Capitol this afternoon.
When asked as to the significance of
the sudden change of policy on the
part of the United States, relative to
sending out warships into Havana,
Senator Davis replied:
"Secretary Long tells us that the
vjstt of the Maine is purely of a
friendly nature. Now, there may or
may not be any special significance in
the Maine's movements, but it all de
pends upon the v.ay Spain views it.
It is not unusual for the warships of
a friendly nation to cruise in the har
bors of their neighbors. I understand
that the two German warships entered
the harbor of Havana yesterday.
There does not appear to have been
any special importance attached to
that action on the part of the German
Government. Of course, I realize that
while the relations between the United
States and Spain are supposed to be
friendly we have kept our ships out
of the harbor of Havana for the past
two or three years, and the sending of
the Maine to Cuba now naturally ex
cites speculation. We might have sent
our warships to Havana at the be
ginning of the present controversy
with even greater propriety than now,
and it would have occasioned little or
no comment. As I understand the situ
ation we refrained from sending our
ships there out of a feeling of delicacy
toward Spain, with whom we have
friendly relations. It has been cus
tomary for our ships to run in and
out of Havana at our own convenience
until this last struggle for independ
ence commenced. Prior to that time
there was no hostile significance at
tached to the fact that one of our ships
steamed into the harbor of Havana and
remained there long enough to give
the officers and crew time enough to
witness a bull fight and buy a supply
of cigars and attend to such other du
ties as might develop upon the ship's
company. When the present compli
cations arose It was deemed advisable
on the part of the United States to
keep our ships away from Havana for
fear Spain might think we were trying
to coerce her into a settlement of an
internal revolution. I think we might
have sent our ships there iong before
this and I believe the presence of our
ships In the harbor of Havana would
have had a good effect upon the situa
tion. It looks as though the end Is ap
proaching and as a precautionary
measure the administration has di
rected the Maine to proceed to Havana
on a friendly cruise; but at the same
time to be present in case of emer
gency to offer protection to American
interests should they be threatened.
"I am advised that peace and tran
quillity prevail in Havana now and
that there is no serious objection from
any source to the visit of the Maine to
Cuban waters. A I said in the begin
ning, we will have to wait and see
what construction the Spanish Govern
ment puts upon our friendly action."
Naval officers, generally, look upon
the sending of the Maine to Havana
as the right thing to do, under existing
cirucmstances. Those who are in po
sitions to be familiar with all that has
been said and done in connection with
the movements of the North Atlantic
squadron, since the complications in
Cuba reached the serious stage, have
advocated the presence of some of our
warships in Cuban waters from the
very beginning of the trouble.
A well-known naval officer, who Is
familiar with the subject, remarked to
day that it was almost a miracle if
there is not some friction between the
American sailors and the Spanish
troops. It is all right for the Maine
to go to Havana and be there ready
to give aid to Consul-General Lee and
to guard American interests, but as a
matter of fact, the Spaniards hate the
sight of an American citizen and there
is bound to be a mix-up if the Span
ish troops offer our sailors any indig
nity while they are in port. In view
of the long absence from Cuban waters
of American warships the Spaniards
may forget that we are still supposed
to be on terms of friendly relations
with them, and resent the entrance of
our vessels into their harbor.

Desires to Have the People

in The Call.
GRIDER IS WID.EAWAKE.
The Councilman Back of a Movement
for the Construction of a Mow
Water System.
Special Dispatch to The Call.
LOS ANGELES, Jan. 24.— T0-morrow
the nine members of the Common
Council of the city of Los Angeles will
have another opportunity to go on rec
ord in the battle which is on between
the 110,000 inhabitants of the munici
pality on one side and the fifty-two
stockholders of the water company
and their three newspaper tools — the
Times, Herald and Express— on the
other. When the Council meets in the
morning Councilman L. M. Grider will
offer the following resolution:
Resolved, That the waU-r supply com
mittee, with the Mayor and City Engin
eer, are hereby instructed to investigate
and report to the Council whether or not
it is feasible and practicable to construct
a water system which will bring water
Into the city from a mountain source and
with sufficient pressure for lire purposes,
and they are instructed to report upon
the matter as soon as practicable and not
later than three weeks from this date.
Now the members of the Council who
are not tied to the city water com
pany will vote for this resolution. It
will result in an investigation which
will cost the city nothing, and, if the
facts are given, a report will be made
showing that it is both feasible and
practicable to bring mountain water
into this city for domestic purposes
and with sufficient pressure for fire
purposes.
The water company forces will be
massed, and a determined, and, pos
sibly, a successful, effort will be made
to kill the resolution, if not by direct
action, in an indirect way. Of all things
the city water company does not de
sire a lair and honest report as to how
easy it is to bring water into this city
from a mountain source and independ
ent of its system. Upon this point it
does not want the public informed,
and, more particularly.it does not want
it through an official Council report.
So, with the aid of its tools in the
Council, it will endeavor to defeat the
resolution, and then, on the day fol
lowing, through its newspaper organs,
it will endeavor to discredit and ridi
cule an honest effort of Councilman
Grider to carry out the pledge con
tained in the platform upon which he
was elected.
The daily papers have hedged nota
bly on the water question since The
Call took up the fight of the people of
this city. All three of them now an
nounce editorially that the plan of the
Mayor to take possession of the city's
plant, now in the puss«-ssion of the wa
ter company, upon the expiration of
the company's lease is all right. Prior
to January 17, upon which date The
Call took up the water fight, these
same three papers had condemned the
proposition in unmeasured terms as
fanatical and a recommendation for
mob rule.
The Herald, since it was denounced
by the Democratic City Committee,
has been very mild. It has eaten its
own words, and Its editorial columns
have reversed themselves. But the
water company still controls the allied
dailies and the directors of the corpo
ration still dictate the editorial policy
of all three sheets as to municipal own
ership. The great desire of the com
pany now is to still tvte agitation that
has been started. If this is continued
and the public is kept posted as to
the moves of the monopoly and its
tools, the combined dailies, the scheme
to obtain a fifty-year extension of the
lease is irretrievably lost. To accom
plish its purpose a fund, so it is said
on good authority, of $250,000 has been
set aside.
But if the people are kept informed,
there is no amount of money that will
carry it, even if the company were to
control seven members of the Council.
The people would not tamely submit to
the outrage. There would be such an
uprising as has never before been seen
In any city in this country. As long as
the water company controlled all ave
nues of reaching and Informing the
people through its syndicated press, its
schemes were not understood. But The
Call has destroyed the utility of the
newspaper combine and completely
overwhelmed not only the three news
papers but their masters as well. As
a result, the people of this city are joy
ful, and they have not been slow about
expressing their gratitude to The Call
for the great service it hRs rendered.
Nearly one hundred ministers gath
ered at the First M. E. Church to-day
to listen to a lecture delivered to them
by Rev. W. D. P. Bliss, the eminent
divine. Dr. Biles' remarks were straight
and to the point. He was endeavoring
to point out to the ministers how they
could get the workingmen into the
church. Among other things the lec
turer had this to say:
"The poor man Is having too great a
struggle for bread to care much about
your better city government theories.
If you tell him that you mean to tear
down the slums and give him good
houses and give him pure water to
drink, he is more intersted."
Dr. Bliss evidently was aware of the
j fact that the league for better city gov
i eminent has not assisted In any way
j whatsoever in making the fight for the
, people against the water company. It
< has stood supinely by and has not
made one effort, while a job was In a
fair way to be put through which con
templated either robbing the people at
once out of about two million dollars
or the extension of a franchise which
in fifty years would mulct them Into
the sum of twenty millions. Dr Bliss'
lecture will not be referred to by the
water company press, but if the minis
ters of the gospel who were present
and heard him will spread his doctrine
among their flocks, there will have
been some material assistance given
the cause, and Dr. Bliss will not have
spoken in vain.

GENERAL MILES HAS
A DISTINCTIVE UN/FORM.
New Ideas as to Decorations Obtained by
the Commanding Officer of the Arm/
During His Tour in Europe.
NEW YORK. Jan. 24.— A Washington
special to the Herald says: Major-
General Miles will hereafter wear a dis
tinctive uniform as general command
ing the army. While in Europe last
summer he made a detailed examina
tion of the uniforms of different Kuro
pean armies and learned the views of
officers of foreign armies about unl-
forms which are prescribed by their
Governments.
General Miles' plans for a general
change in the uniforms of the United
States army have not yet taken definite
shape; but he has satisfied himself re
garding decorations which he considers
appropriate for the commanding officer,
and has received permission of the Sec
retary of War to adopt them for his
own uniform.
General Miles has gold embroidery to
the sleeves and collar of a full dress
coat, the design being a delicate trac
ery of oak leaves. He has abandoned
epaulets entirely, and Instead adopted
the Sat Russian shoulder knot, without
fringe, bearing the coat-of-arms of the
United States and the two stars in
dicating the rank of maj >r-pen<>ral. To
this is added a belt of Russian leather,
piped with gold and embroider^ in
oak leaves, to match the design on the
collar and ruffp of the coat. A Basil of
alternate stripes of yellow and gold, ex
tending from the right shoulder to the
left side, completes the new features
of the new uniform.
General Miles appeared in his new
uniform for the first time at the Presi
dent's reception last Wednesday even

SUCCESS OF THE
LICK EXPEDITION
Obtained Perfect Photographs of
the Sun's Corona During
the Eclipse.
Changes in the Solar Spectrum at
the Sun's Edge Plainly
Shown.
Special Dispnfh to The Call.
LICK OBSERVATORY. Jan. 24— A
cablegram received to-day at Mount
Hamilton from Professor Campbell,
■who is in charge of the Crocker-Lick
Observatory expedition at Jeur. India,
says that most satisfying photographs
of the corona were obtained by the ex
pedition with three different telescopes
— one Bet of photographs with a tele
scope forty feet long and the other with
five foot and three foot telescopes.
Professor Campbell reports the great
equatorial expanse of the corona which
formed such a conspicuous feature of
the eclipse of January 18, ISS9. has
again been photographed. He satis
factorily photographed the changes in
the solar spectrum at the sun's edge
with the aid of one of the spectro
scopes, and probably obtained success
ful photographs of the reverse layer.
The presence of certain incandescent
matter In the lower strata of the sun's
atmosphere forms a comparatively thin
stratum in a more elevated region
called the reverse layer.
Certain of the rays of light from the
lower region of the sun's atmosphere
are absorbed in passing through this
stratum, and the absence of these rays
was indicated by the dark lines in the
solar spectrum. It is this reversing
layer that has probably been photo
graphed by the Lick Observatory
party. j. If. SCHAEBERLE.
SAN FRANCISCO. Jan. 24.— 1 have
Just received from Charles Burckhalter
a cable from Jeur. India:
"Sky clear. My. method equals my
expectations and is an unqualified suc
cess."
This Is from the eclipse expedition
fitted out by me and is the test of Mr.
Burckhalter's newly invented method
of obtaining a perfect photograph of
the sun's corona during an eclipse.

TRIED TO LIVE
WITHOUT FOOD
Cause of the Death of a
Rancher Near Cala
bassas.
Thought He Had Discovered a
Secret Whereby to
Cheat Nature.
Dies of Starvation in a Cabin Whose
Larder Was Always
Empty.
Bp€dal Dispatch to The Call.
SANTA CRUZ, Jan. 24.— Because he
thought he could cheat nature and live
without eating, Frank Bernstein, who
lived on a small ranch at Calabasas,
Is dead. His body was discovered by
a neighbor named Karle, who entered
Bernstein's cabin this morning. The
Indications were that Bernstein had
been dead for several days.
All things being considered the con
clusion is unavoidable that his death
was due to starvation. He was always
considered a very eccentric creature,
and acted strangely. Of late he had
been an ardent student of the mys
teries of theosophy, and had spent
much of his time in the study of this
philosophy. He believed he had solved
the problem of existing without food,
which belief had come from the study
of the doctrines he had spent so much
of his time in unraveling. His cabin
was destitute of food.
Bernstein came to Calabasas in 1884
and purchased a ranch of fifteen acres,
which he never cultivated. At one time
WEDDING BELLS WILL RING.
The Engagement of Two of Berkeley's Society
Belles Has Been Announced.
The young people of the university town are starting the New Tear
well. The engagements of two of its society belles and one of its favorite
sons have been announced, and the weddings are shortly to follow. The
lucky couples are Miss Ethel E. Bergen and Frank N. Lowell and Miss
Edna L. Lowell and Harry S. Scott.
Miss Bergen's college days are over and she is now one of Berkeley's
society leaders. She is the daughter of the Hon. B. F. Bergen, the well
known attorney. Mr. Lowell is with the Southern Pacific Railroad Com
pany, and is popular in all the bay cities.
Miss Lowell is the daughter of Captain A. I. Lowell, and sister of Miss
Bergen's fiancee. She is a handsome blonde, a member of the class of '99,
and very popular in the university town. Mr. Scott is Assistant Chief
Wharfinger of the port, and is a favorate with all who know him. He is a
Mason, a prominent Native Son, and one of the leaders of the Olympic
Club.
The wedding of Mr. Lowell and Miss Bergen will take place at the home
of the brides parents In Berkeley this evening. The ceremony
will be performed by the Rev. Dr. Coyle of the First Presbyterian Church
of Oakland, and the bridesmaids and groomsmen will be: Miss Emma E.
Bergen (maid of honor). Miss Edna L. Lowell, Miss Margi. Smith, and
Fred L. Lowell (best man), Louis B. Haseltine and Harry S. Scott.
The wedding of Mr. Scott and Miss Lowell will follow in the spring.
he was presented with -a large number
of fruit trees by a neighbor. He
planted them, but only to uproot them,
as he thought he could exist without
the necessaries of life. He was con
sidered insane by many of his neigh
bors, and was a few years ago brought
to Santa Cruz and examined by a
board of examiners for the insane, but
it did not think the case one that
would warrant the sending of the man
to a State insane asylum. He returned
to his farm, but only to again act in
the same peculiar manner. Although
the possessor of land he let the prop
erty go to waste and refused to culti
vate it. He earned his livelihood by
working for the neighbors, who. in this
section of the county, are all farmers.
Bernstein was a native of Sweden
and came from a fine family. His body
Is In charge of the Coroner, and an in
quest will be held.

SLAY A THIRD
Murder Done on a Moun
tain Summit Near
Santa Monica.
John W. Hilton Given No
Chance for His Life by
His Foes.
Quarrel of Neighbors Over an Up
land Road Ends in an Atro
cious Crime.
Special Dispatch to The Call.
LOS ANGELES, Jan. 24.— 0n the
summit of a mountain eighteen miles
northwest of Santa Monica John W.
Hilton was shot and mortally wounded
and died an hour afterward. His
slayers were George Cardwell and Ike
Harris. The murder occurred in what ]
is known as the Los Vergenes district, j
the mountain precinct of this county.
Hilton owned a mountain ranch and
had, with the consent of Cardwell and
Harris, changed a roaa which cut off ;
a portion of his land. A new road had
been built, but the recent rains had
ruined it. Harris and Cardwell then
began using the old road and they
quarreled with Hilton about it.
On Saturday morning Hilton was ;
plowing his land. Cardwell and Harris I
started to drive across it on the old
road. Hilton ordered them to stop and
started for the house. They in turn
ordered the old man to stand still, but
he did not. When sixty feet away they |
both fired at him, one with a musket
loaded with buckshot and the other
with a Winchester. The old man im
mediately fell to the ground and his
wife appeared on the scene. The mur
dterora disappeared.
A neighbor came and assisted Mrs. I
Hilton to carry her husband to the .
house, and an hour later he died.
The district in which the killing oc- |
curred is wild and mountainous, and ]
there are many lawless characters i
there. The murdered man was 68
years of age. He had resided on his
ranch but a year. Cardwell and Harris
have both been arrested and are in the
County Jail".

DANGEROUS DAYS.
They Are Upon Us and They Need to Bo
Watched Very Carefully.
Of all times, of all seasons of the
year, this is the most dangerous It is
a time when the air is filled with dis
ease, when the wind wafts pneumonia.
The deaths from this one trouble alone
are simply alarming, and in spite of all
warningVthey seem to be ncreaslng
Pneumonia comes Buddenl8 uddenly ', *L t *»"
quickly; it far too often results fatally.
It is all the more dangerous because it
comes unannounced. A tickling in the
throat, a tightness of the chest and a
difficulty in breathing, an extreme feel
ing of languor, all may mean the be
ginning of pneumonia. Being so sud
den a disease it requires above all
things prompt treatment. If a prompt
reaction is brought about the danger
may be over; if not, the end may be
near. Any physician who is called in
a case of pneumonia prescribes stimu
lants instantly, such as pure whiskey
all else is useless.
For years the standard, the reliable,
the one whiskey which can be depend
ed on has been Duffy's Pure Malt. It
has saved the lives of thousands who
were on the high road to pneumonia in
its worst form, and it has both pre
vented and cured the worst forms of
pulmonary trouble. It stands unrival
ed. Be sure and secure Duffy s. no
matter how much you may be urged
to try a cheaper one.
